among the old girls. omission streatch. should. no longer and food shortages bring libya to the brink of a humanitarian crisis and the opposition again says it will not negotiate with a fugitive colonel gadhafi. more violence is reported in syria and the government's attempts to implement reforms that smaller solutions of the country's longstanding crisis becomes an album of discord between russia and its western partners. surviving on scraps of long u.s. carmakers who once received the balance are now reaping the rewards more and more locals in detroit are forced to deal in scrap just to make ends meet. it was a real out of those world experience a russian built orbital hotel is due to be put into space in just i years those

were cast as the clash on the figure you. on the bus was about the prospects for the world economy is being felt in russia they can only ministry has lowered the culture of growth will cost for twenty eleventh's foreign business about ten minutes with. its five pm here in moscow this is r t coming to you live on news and now with our top story this hour and efforts are underway in libya to try and restore water and electricity supplies in tripoli rebel leaders have asked nato countries to protect the teams trying to repair basic services but also once again rejected the possibility of holding talks with moammar gadhafi parties where if an ocean is in the capital where a humanitarian crisis is unfolding. what we're hearing here in tripoli from the rebels makes their position absolutely clear it will no be any negotiations with

gadhafi and all they can provide him they say is safety and fair trial the rebels' information minister. has said that if even if gadhafi personally calls him and asks want to go she says he will not never talk to him he has added that and the rebels are not negotiating with the criminals and with the killers and freeze and not talks that is a had for them battled colonel gadhafi government spokesperson will say blogging has sent a message to the rebels and gadhafi is readiness to hold talks with the rebels on for me that additional government this statement comes just a week after the rebels assault on the libyan capital tripoli as a result they are virtually controlling most of the city they're actually right now controlling most of the country as about the situation here in tripoli i would describe this situation as humanitarian disaster tripoli council has said that from

sixty to seventy percent of all residents of the libyan capital don't have enough water and electricity. due to technical problems they say emphasizing that it's not related to fight scenes on the streets the city indeed faces severe shortages of food and medicine as well and electricity even here in corinthia hotel where we are stain and where most of the foreign journalists are staying there is no water in this day water free day here in this in this region is very complicated and people are struggling. financially there in tripoli well millions i've heard them and glazebrook says nato was using the rebels to turn libya into a failed state just as the did with iraq and afghanistan. this war is fundamentally a war to maintain africa in a subordinate position in the global economy in twenty ten i could have made a proposal to the african union that was adopted but no african country would allow

us based on its soil since that time the us is in desperate to get rid of gadhafi when you talk about the rebels this is a very disparate group of people really who's calling the shots and nato few leaders that we hear about matthew jabril abdul julio these are people who have stablished links with western financial institutions going back over several years so really when when we hear from these people mark this is made based on their being state would be the same as what's replaced the state in iraq understand which is a dysfunctional government and a lack of security the gang will pay and so will and this is not the state on nature they would prefer to see failed states and states are powerful an independent and able to challenge their germany and those who are fighting for nato in libya and i think for the t.n.c. you really need to understand this is nato mission but their country we need to wake up and seeing that they are in use in. the u.k. is gone beyond the u.n.

resolution on libya as british m.p. bearing gardener is from the opposition labor party and voted against the intervention you can watch the full interview next hour but here's a preview. it was very clear in the original un resolution it was very clear when our prime minister spoke in parliament here that there would be no occupation force one of the things that troubled me always and so was this being unreasonable as to whether there should be troops on the ground as the rebels were going into tripoli we heard go left go left go left these instructions coming yelled out. what were obviously british soldiers british personnel who were leading that advance group that i think is where we've overstepped the line.

russia has once again called on the conflicting sides in syria to end the bloodshed and move from the battlefield to the negotiating table it's also urged the countries opposition to yield to a peaceful solution as it says this is the only way that will lead to democratic reforms comes as russia's deputy foreign minister has been meeting the syrian leadership arena who has more so than using between the russians if the foreign minister and syrian president has just concluded and the syrian capital damascus of course russia has its own stands on the situation in the country and that moscow is against the adoption of a u.n. draft resolution which seeks to implement severe sanctions against syria now the united states has already implemented economic sanctions on the country so it's our credit cards functions in syria which does not aid the economic situation in the country in the wake mostly has proposed this only for us and all the resolution for

syria which does calling the president and the government to implement the reforms which they promised the syrian people five months ago so they're calling on syria to implement those reforms as soon as possible and to pursue a way with the violent breakdowns of demonstrations which have been going in the country for the last five months it was one of the reforms which were promised by the syrian government actually already underway just recently with or has been implemented it does allow greater freedom of press and media in the country among other things that lower allows foreign journalists to enter a syria something which has been prohibited for the last several months and that has led to a lack of information as some of the events which have been happening in the country have been somewhat misinterpreted by the question you get as you can observe now. my report. is a special significance for syria and for the president bashar loss of his father is from a village near the city in which the population is predominantly elevate just like

the rest of the province the process began here in march of this year this is one of the main buildings this is one of the main squares in the city of latakia syria tell headquarters located on the rights in the middle of this syria tell is a company telephone company which was owned by one of the cousins of the president and the protesters expressed their hatred towards the regime by looting the place and then burning it violence returned to the top again just a couple of weeks ago more than thirty lives and to government protests broke out in the sunni part of the city officials said they were battling with armed groups which they say have infiltrated the area now what's the story here the story goes according to the protesters according to the opposition answer majority of the midwestern media sources is that there were warships stationed right here in this bay and there were shelling the sunni part of the town which is all along the coastline right over there and the middle of that part of the town is the palestinian camp but you have to keep in mind that according to the u.s.

administration who are obviously wanted to be in the situation there were no warships stationed in this base on the seventeenth of august or earlier on the surface it seems to be life as usual but once you take a closer look side to the rest come through so we got to the sunni part of the town and there are no signs of any fire coming from the side of the sea where supposedly ships work but there differently signs of battle you can see by the bullet holes in the walls in the market most of the. story. is. some buildings were damaged. some people unwilling to speak on camera view was used critical of the assad regime saying the government is to blame for failing to deliver a five month. promises of reforms this they see in force the people out of new students storing up protests there are lots of people to be interviewed may not be surprising given that we were accompanied by an armed military escort throughout

our trip from attack in syria it was go karts. as moscow keeps urging president to implement his promised reforms we spoke to the country's ambassador to the un atomic chart dempsey he says russia's western partners are too keen on a per screen exclusively the syrian government. we need to truce i believe the logic of a gauge number was your goal finding a political accommodation rather than the logic of an old bunch member and encouraging strife in syria would sure you know weeks to be. going on to the free videos section on our website to watch the full interview. mission free. education free. for charge free arrangement free. three stooges free.

a monstrous long island cocktail currently going down a storm in a moscow. a you has called for the president of the european central bank among other officials to stand before a special financial committee that plague sweeping the bloc threatens its very unity talks will focus on the whole thing the spread of contagion as fresh data shows panic with revelations even such economic giants as germany are not immune another priority will be addressing investor concerns that finland's demands for collateral quick to rail a second one hundred sixteen billion euro bailout for greece and patrick young and executive director of the investment for d.b. advisors believes the rift between the e.u.

nations make it impossible to offer a meaningful solution to the crisis. this is a fascinating meeting because i actually it demonstrates the within the e.u. it's so there is a very very significant struggle on the argument over what is the process by which the eurozone needs to be saved there is a lady called sharon bowles she's the chairman of a committee called economy which deals with economics she's been very very unhappy with the activity and in recent months coming from the european union itself the european commission and. euro zone finance ministers and she's been increasingly critical of the fact that there is basically new leadership in the euro zone it keeps going these false agreements that signed wonderful everybody says the euro zone crisis is solved and there is within a matter of a few weeks we have a further crisis in another economy and we need more money so there's a very very fundamental argument going on within the euro zone within the european union and it's going to call for starter noon in brussels the euro zone needs to

come together with sensible lose because at the moment they've been throwing money at any possible problems and all they're doing is wallpapering all for cracks in the edifice in the structure of the building and that just won't do now the french and the germans are appalled by this whole situation because they want to try and get together a kind of fuzzy warm solution to what goes on but it's just not realistic the french and the german government want to blame poor ignorant nasty speculators but actually the speculators are wrong the speculators are people who are looking after your and my pension fund money and they see the euro zone as being in danger so there's a very big argument looming today. let's take a look now at some world news in a grief for you the u.s. east coast has started clearing up after tropical storm irene refer with cities i personally say at least twenty people have been killed and millions of homes left without power

a downgrade of hurricane cause for destruction caused to subsume to new york subway service as well though the devastation there is much last than expected irene is now approaching the canadian northeast. at least thirty five people have been killed in a series of bomb attacks across iraq the most violent blast rocked the largest sunni mosque in western baghdad claiming twenty eight lives the explosion came as the muslim world celebrates ramadan no one has claimed responsibility for the flurry of violence though and al qaeda linked groups have promised attacks during the holy month. japan's finance minister yoshihiko noda is set to become the country's next prime minister that's after the ruling democratic party elected him as its new chief notable replace the outgoing premier no it will call and will be japan's sixth prime minister in just five years his predecessor face tremendous

pressure over his response to the earthquake and tsunami earlier this year and the nuclear crisis that followed. well for those eager for a break from down to earth troubles a russian company has come up with the perfect solution in just five years time they're planning to open a hotel in space and though the price tag is astronomical i was pushed over found out for some the chance of having the ultimate retreat is well worth it. there is getting away from it all and then there's this the first in a hotel thinking in space could be the ultimate escape and according to its leaders this isn't a space fantasy stance on the one year as we relaunched a commercial space station into into sixteen and receive our first guests in twenty seven thousand years designed to host seven guests at most it is likely to become better most exclusive boutique hotel in the world tell you the hotel will be far

more comfortable than the current international space station used by cosmonauts and astronauts guests will be able to enjoy an individual cabin as shall akiba go instead of a staunch pause and those aboard the i says have to do with and toilets with flowing and instead of water do you can weightlessness visitors will only be able to sleep in the bags attached to the walls where there's a choice to sleep only some type of vertically as for the food it is promised to be delicious but with the woods once you're on it it will be a super de luxe trip everything has to be top level. just getting there will be an adventure in itself to these on board of russian see new spacecraft and a chance to rub shoulders with real astronauts to the hotel will be used as an emergency retreat in case of a crisis on the international space station i think everybody would grab the chance if they if they get it to go to space it will be in the future but to make the

first steps now thirty three year old guinea want to qantas to become the country's first space tourist the media lined up for nothing more than a suborbital flight but he says it's just a start so much of the old boy's dream of if he'll would only fuel filter but there are so many restrictions that can prevent you from goggles for example health or money and that's certainly something that is likely to become the stumbling block the most earth as well as the cost of the trip and the moment the estimate price for twenty seventeen starts at about sixty million dollars. it is in that really rich individuals or corporations interested in their own research it could also be an interesting options for states which don't have a national space program but we can offer them a really good deal. and actually room in one of the world's leading hotels certainly has its advantages having to choose between sleeping vertically or

sleeping here i'd certainly go for these questions but there's one thing about space hotel that even the most luxurious place on the planet won't be able to be and that is the view from the window after all that's what most people go there for the view of planet earth in all its beauty gary artie moscow. next up and on the latest business news with you here. call time for your business update the best mizzen about the prospects for the world's. colony is also being felt here in russia the economic minister has lowered the country's growth to cost this year by and much to food point one percent just going to raising its forecast for the price reduction and investment is growing slower than expected barley christian consumption is mostly being met by imports been ministering expects g.d.p. growth to continue to slow to twenty fortune one of the disappointment off the

presence of russia was of the countries taking too much time to return to present growth rates or just remind the present specialist ronnie's seven eight the sound of grossly the year old was where do we really saw growth which is relatively beautiful you compare russian developed countries with to you know put a sense of your own feel which is more good very much aggressive in russia stickies as local investors do come to russia the thought of recount a certain guess it was awful to me and they say oh is it looks like the post of surprise offender will come off the falls and fourteen because it was a time warp of the cabinet would you read it for the money ball grandmother cleveland changes the business climate and basically to do read that to invite international war or russian investment back to stimulate economic growth. and certainty plaguing the world's financial markets pushed capital outflow to a five year high last week on lists from emerging prefer aloof on three steps they

foreign investors took almost five million dollars out of the country that's a question of the total emerging markets off one cherry picker. and have a quick check on crites black gold oil prices up to solve that soft oil refineries and terminals along the u.s. east coast well the worst of the tropical storm and also east fears of fuel supply disruptions. and looking at precious metals gold as well all of us are losing that she won the dollars but still trading high of one thousand eight hundred fourteen dollars but ours console but it's trading at wrong so she went on this. earth is talk of the high about trading is three and as long as the markets are closed for a holiday break start small the strongest performance with the main index running seven percent financials are losing the gains so the decision at all is about three point six percent and our goals are when we sent the sign. on russian markets are trading strongly high at the r.t.s. was any of the three percent and the mice exists to know how to stand higher let's

see what's happening on the my stocks some individual share moves here banking stocks are among the best before the sow's. percent truck maker to come us is gaining as well the company has posted to three and help the middle of net profit against funds that in the middle of the losses last year generating called me i g k two is also on the rise soft close to a sixty percent jump in first time that profits. the world's largest aluminum producer sol hauser pushed results below expectations for the second quarter net profit to clients seventy percent to three hundred feet which in a dollar's cost growth of prices and production. companies supposed to the future and expects to munched grow thirteen percent this year in its hope somebody must market and follow marching on its. as the market saw traveling in a turbulence own role in national guard accountable it promises to talk

a lot but. i think at the moment you should really be opting for safety. there's a lot of volatility at the moment so although there's a lot of value in russian stocks i think right now you need to be looking where safety is best liquidity so that's gazprom and rolls yeah maybe spare bank less bank has been performing quite poorly recently it stocks that provide some kind of protection at the moment although you know quite frankly i would be sitting in cash rolling up from varna capital the russian sales don't want health from foreign giants to dissolve the russian market the country's leading chains that stiva needs have close a second quarter results showing a fifty percent increase in net income tax five retail group says it wants to cash in on the russian market potential itself. oh she will ring break retail chains hold less than thirty percent of the market all enveloping countries this bigger

reaches eighty percent of the experiment so it's more interesting for russian retailers to realize it was consensual by themselves so i think when the market is saturated maybe it will make more sense to create for a company for a majority who gets a name. that wraps up the business boards and you can always find more stores and all that so i thought starkey dot com slash business i'm trying to explore another business updates and bus and last time.
